I’m looking to study a story a day. I’m looking forward to gain more clarification from God through these studies on how to tackle what I’m going through 💫

I’m so hungry for the word but I get discouraged when I don’t understand it. I have no one to study with. I won’t give up and will to be more disciplined in reading it in the mighty name of Jesus.

1. Choose a translation you understand 2. Choose a time, a place, and a plan to study. 3. Understand the context 4. Read slowly and ask questions 5. Pray to God to speak to you, and apply what he shows you
@@coffeebuxyeah I was so confused buying a Bible on Amazon like 2-3/months ago…. So many versions idk 🤷♂️??? Of course I picked the (KJV) 🤦♂️… so hard to contextually dissect old English words that aren’t used anymore. I’ve read so many chapters that just go way over my head, should I get ESV or NIV?
@greg6162 ESV is the better option compared to NIV, and easy to understand. However, as you grow in your relationship with God and His word you will be able to understand KJV a lot more. I personally use NKJV, but a year ago I wouldn't have been able to even understand that.
@@greg6162 Hi, there! I understand the ESV is more of a textual translation (word for word) while the NIV is a dynamic translation (thought for thought). They're both good; the ESV might seem a bit more formal, like a KJV without the archaic words, while the NIV may sound more modern. Some people like to have several translations and compare verses while studying. In the end, as someone once said, the best Bible is the one you actually read. Blessings!
I read the Bible every single morning.... with my husband. We ask the Holy Spirit what book to read. We take turns asking. I don't want to start the day without the Word and Jesus Christ ~ my Shepherd.
I will study the word of God every day this week❤so blessed God led me here today…I had a sleepless night and was battling depression/anxiety…I turned on my iPad and had no idea what to watch and Life Church popped up. I’ve been watching and listening for two hrs🙏🙏🙏
ive been studying the bible through life church and elevation videos for the past 2 years. And ive been sober for 2yrs. I didnt think I was gonna stop. But God gave me strength!! Thank yu Lord for all these videos.

October 1st marked 3 years and 9 months alcohol free. It was when I turned it completely over to God that He guided me to what He knew I needed to help me. I share my story publicly in hopes of encouraging others. This Thursday I will give my testimony at Celebrate Recovery at our church. For so many years I had no relationship with God and now I am so thankful to have Him in my life. I see now that all those years I had turned my back on Him, He never turned His back on me.
Praise God I totally agree with you cause its the same case with me which I couldn't do it on my own, including smoking and many more, I feel free and strong, All Glory to God 🙏
A friend of mine suggested we read the Bible together. Turned out to be a wonderful experience. Accountability and growing in Gods word. We misunderstand God our father without this knowledge! The best time I ever invested. Praise God for being enlightened to your word through your servant Andy.
I can’t even describe how much of a blessing that this video popped up into my suggestions as I was literally thinking of how to better read my Bible. I was just baptized this week and I need more of his word in me and this is the beginning of a beautiful journey, God bless church family.
That is not a coincidence! That is just prove of how much the Lord knows you, cares for you, and wants to met you right where you are! He knew exactly what you needed in this moment and placed the tools right at your feet! It is amazing to think that the Creator of the word cares for you that much! We are so glad this video helped you and hope you continue to be able to use some of our resources to aid you on your journey with Christ! We pray that you will continue to grow in your faith each day. 🙌 -Rachel
Lord, I lift up @MinusTheTbird. I lift up their health concerns. I pray that You would lay Your healing hands over them and their illness. God, I ask for wisdom for the doctors and nurses over their care. I ask that friends and family would surround them and speak life and truth into them. Continue to walk with them on this journey. In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🙏
Christians ✝️, do not wait for Sunday or Sabbath. Read the word of God yourself every day, pray, and meditate over it. Listen to God talking to you through His word & answer Hin through your prayers. Word of God gives you eternal life. Word of God destroys the work of the enemy and healls all sicknesses and diseases 🙏 🙌 🎉❤

I will study the word every day this week! I do plans on the youversion app. I was going thru some tough warfare, threw away my old bible which was a niv version. I was formerly opening up doors to demonic things(horoscopes,living in sin, addiction), full of vanity, depressed, feeling alone, but NOW I have felt the presence of God, I feel his love for me and I have heard him call my name! I have rededicated my life to him and I thank him for his mercy and grace everyday! Hallelujah 🙏🏼❤️

God works is mysterious ways, just this morning i was trying to think of how i can consistently study the bible daily and this video was the first recommended video when i opened youtube
Thank you! I came to hear "who to study your Bible." However, near the end, your words "God uses your past," is clearly the reason I came. A tortured, painful past can creep up and destroy a present. Thank you, Lord, you use those painful times for good!
Father, we lift up live2win4freedom82. We pray that he will experience Your presence in a new way today. Help set his heart upon You and Your Word! May You guide his path towards You, Lord, while deepening his relationship with You. Fill his mind with Your thoughts and ways, and provide community that strengthens his resolve towards You. Renew his mind and fill him with the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment to grant understanding of Your nature and character. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
My first time here God has led me to your channel & yes I surrender to God today & always there is no other way for me. Thank you for your love for God that you are sharing with the world...God bless & continue to work through you...much love❤

Hallelujah ❤pastor Craig, I do not believe in coincidence this was God guiding me to this sermon today ,I have always wanted to know how to study my bible but did not know how, don’t ask me how I came across this like I said God knows😊…I will study my bible daily yes yes yes yes yes
Never known how to study the bible, but this was the video I needed to get back on track and get serious about praising our lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏🏽
I have been struggling with studying the Bible since past week , and this came into my feed.. . How?? I don't know anything else except the grace of God 🙏 thank you sir for this , its of great help 😊🙏
God led me to your channel today. studying on my own has not brought as much understanding as I hoped. I will study every day, using your plan. SPECK is super helpful. I’ve written down your notes from the board and using the QR code for more help. God bless you as he has blessed me today. Thank you for simplifying Bible study. Greeting and love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹
A few months ago, this video prompted me to seek a Life Recovery Bible (NLT) and start making God’s Word a part of my daily being. I’m much happier with the person I’m becoming. Thank you for this. 🕊️
Thank you Pastor Craig Groeschel 🙏🏼 Watching from New York City 🏙️ This sermon is so good for mature Christians as well as new believers in Christ! ✝️❤️
Great sermon pastor Craig. I got saved from pornography when I met my fiance a year and 3 months ago. I told God that I did not want to start our relationship with watching porn and I havent even seen those images or videos once. Thank you so much the encouragment with the sermons especially the relationship sermons.
Just what I was looking for. Thank you. Appreciate everyone’s comments. In today’s world it’s so refreshing to be surrounded with such positive thoughts. 🙏🏽
Oh I am so happy we are doing this! I have been in and out of crisis for the past month and I have been in deep deep pain emotionaly and spiritually and it has been battle after battle. I was able to plant the seed of Christ's love in the life of a good friend today, that was inspired by this video. Thank you Pastor Greg.
@Matt Brown, that is wonderful! We are so glad this message spoke to you, and God used you to share it with someone else! Lord Jesus, we ask for healing for Matt. Whatever he is going through, you know! Thank you that you know and you see. Thank you that you are working even when it doesn't seem or feel like it. We ask for your strength for Matt to trust in you, keep leaning on you, and spending time with you and in your word. Amen. -- Jenni
😂😂😂 I read that exact verse of Ezekiel when I was a teenager, doing the "lucky-dip method." This is such a testimony to me! God definitely has a sense of humour.
"O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit created by a command from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!-for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.” [Quran - Surah An-Nisa; 4:171] In this verse Allah (the Almighty God) is speaking to people of the book. Allah forbids the People of the Scriptures from going to extremes in religion, which is a common trait of theirs, especially among the Christians. The Christians exaggerated over Jesus PBUH until they elevated him above the grade that Allah gave him. They elevated him from the rank of prophethood to being a god, whom they worshipped just as they worshipped Allah.
I am absolutaly shocked , the way this sermon is said and laid out … may God bless you guys , for the huge effort and may he guide you and give you strength in the future too , loved this video !
I will study the word every day this week! I needed this right now so badly. I was an addict and I've been clean 6 years. I have been trying to really connect with God through his word. I'm doing it now. I'm surrendering my life to Jesus. I'm committing to Him now!
I have been reading one book of the Bible at a time and looking at every word, looking at different translations and of course pray for understanding and for my eyes to be open.

I will study the word of God every day this week. There are times where I start and do good, and then after a week or so I fall off the wagon. I struggle getting up in the morning and then get so caught up with life that I never get around to do it anymore. I know this is a tactic of the enemy.. he knows how to and when to stir something up and he does this by keeping me rushing and busy. Please pray I am able to prioritize my time with the Lord.
@Rebeca you are not alone in this! Lord Jesus, please help Rebeca to be able to follow through with her commitment to read and study your word this week. Please give her eyes to see and understand what you are speaking to her about. Your word is powerful and living and able to help and transform us. Please help your word to come alive for all of us! We so desperately need it! Amen. -- Jenni
On my bucket list I wanted to read the Bible all the way through I did it. Now I am enjoying sort of free lancing you have given me a great direction to go forward with study thank you.
Many thanks pastor Craig I’m so so so grateful for your life and for sharing with us this important topic in our lives. Maybthe Holy Spirit open the eyes of our spirits and helps us to keep committed with passion and not in a profesional way when reading/mediating in the living word of God. I need this motivation. Again many thanks Pastor Craig 🎉😊
I really needed this tonight. I’m struggling so much and need to be in HIS word! I believe Jesus is our saviour and HE will help me! Thank you for this! ❤
Thank you!!!. I DO read but need help and this will also help me help others. I am giving a Bible to someone this morning and I will definitely send her this message
@@melaniemartin730If there is anything I can do to help, let me know! I use an app in addition to my Life Church apps that replaces your cell phone update with Bible prompts and it sets prayers and Scripture for the morning and the evening! It keeps chiming until you open it or snooze it, but you must open it to stop it and when you open it there is a bible verse waiting. It asks your mood and gives you a verse and prayer prompts for how your day went in the evening and that has kept me on schedule. The YouVersion Bible I have used for reading the translation that works for me and audio as well, and I have a separate reading app that allows me to easily mark how many times I have read each chapter. I hope it gets easier. I had to struggle as well to get used to charging through the Old Testament, but it has been totally worth it. Once you get going, it becomes like a habit and makes the day better. If the reading is difficult, do know that you can listen to the audio Bible. I sometimes put on one Book on repeat and fall asleep and wake up to it. That has helped as well! Peace, family!

I highly recommend looking at the Bible Project started by Tim Mackie and Jon Collins. They have a RUclips series and website doing deep dives into books of the Bible with historical context and intent. It’s creative, enlightening, and a great way to understand the grace of Jesus from a biblical perspective as one cohesive story.
Yes, we love Bible Project! There are several Bible plans on the youversion Bible app from the Bible project! Check them out if you haven't already @Randy Bell. -- Jenni

When's the last time you said; THE LORDS PRAYER???
Now that you have the Internet, type Moses online and discover that there's no evidence for Exodus and Moses.
All my past has led me to this moment, I am so blessed. Not perfect, but have perfect love from God.
Amen @ths55! Pote, de nuni. Formerly, but now 🙌
October 1st marked 3 years and 9 months alcohol free. It was when I turned it completely over to God that He guided me to what He knew I needed to help me. I share my story publicly in hopes of encouraging others. This Thursday I will give my testimony at Celebrate Recovery at our church. For so many years I had no relationship with God and now I am so thankful to have Him in my life. I see now that all those years I had turned my back on Him, He never turned His back on me.
Now that you have the Internet, you can type Moses online and discover that there's no evidence for Exodus and Moses.
Praise God I totally agree with you cause its the same case with me which I couldn't do it on my own, including smoking and many more, I feel free and strong, All Glory to God 🙏
I just ran across this in my search for better biblical study training. This is GOLD> Thanks!

God is writing my story

I was so struggling with reading the bible ..this sermon was on perfect timing for me!

A friend of mine suggested we read the Bible together. Turned out to be a wonderful experience. Accountability and growing in Gods word. We misunderstand God our father without this knowledge! The best time I ever invested. Praise God for being enlightened to your word through your servant Andy.
❤️
I can’t even describe how much of a blessing that this video popped up into my suggestions as I was literally thinking of how to better read my Bible. I was just baptized this week and I need more of his word in me and this is the beginning of a beautiful journey, God bless church family.
That is not a coincidence! That is just prove of how much the Lord knows you, cares for you, and wants to met you right where you are! He knew exactly what you needed in this moment and placed the tools right at your feet! It is amazing to think that the Creator of the word cares for you that much! We are so glad this video helped you and hope you continue to be able to use some of our resources to aid you on your journey with Christ! We pray that you will continue to grow in your faith each day. 🙌

About to battle cancer, i am praying God does for me as he did with Mandy, make me new and useful! Heal me and thank you for making me whole again!
Lord, I lift up @MinusTheTbird. I lift up their health concerns. I pray that You would lay Your healing hands over them and their illness. God, I ask for wisdom for the doctors and nurses over their care. I ask that friends and family would surround them and speak life and truth into them. Continue to walk with them on this journey. In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🙏
Christians ✝️, do not wait for Sunday or Sabbath. Read the word of God yourself every day, pray, and meditate over it. Listen to God talking to you through His word & answer Hin through your prayers. Word of God gives you eternal life. Word of God destroys the work of the enemy and healls all sicknesses and diseases 🙏 🙌 🎉❤
I will study the Word of God every day this week! Great message! Thank you!
As long as Christians never type Moses online and learn there is zero proof, then you are a winner! How educated are you?
Really happy about this sermon bc I’d just been praying asking God how I can get closer to him… this sermon answered my prayers 🤍
❤️🙏

I will study the word every day this week! I do plans on the youversion app. I was going thru some tough warfare, threw away my old bible which was a niv version. I was formerly opening up doors to demonic things(horoscopes,living in sin, addiction), full of vanity, depressed, feeling alone, but NOW I have felt the presence of God, I feel his love for me and I have heard him call my name! I have rededicated my life to him and I thank him for his mercy and grace everyday! Hallelujah 🙏🏼❤️

God works is mysterious ways, just this morning i was trying to think of how i can consistently study the bible daily and this video was the first recommended video when i opened youtube
I will study the bible every day this week 🙏
Thank you! I came to hear "who to study your Bible." However, near the end, your words "God uses your past," is clearly the reason I came. A tortured, painful past can creep up and destroy a present.
Thank you, Lord, you use those painful times for good!
I will study the word every day. 🙌 Yes I am surrendering my life back to Jesus 🙌🙌🙌 Hallelujah

Thank you Pastor Craig Groeschel 🙏🏼 Watching from New York City 🏙️ This sermon is so good for mature Christians as well as new believers in Christ! ✝️❤️
Great sermon pastor Craig. I got saved from pornography when I met my fiance a year and 3 months ago. I told God that I did not want to start our relationship with watching porn and I havent even seen those images or videos once. Thank you so much the encouragment with the sermons especially the relationship sermons.
Just what I was looking for. Thank you. Appreciate everyone’s comments. In today’s world it’s so refreshing to be surrounded with such positive thoughts. 🙏🏽
Everyday I will study

I was able to plant the seed of Christ's love in the life of a good friend today, that was inspired by this video. Thank you Pastor Greg.
@Matt Brown, that is wonderful! We are so glad this message spoke to you, and God used you to share it with someone else! Lord Jesus, we ask for healing for Matt. Whatever he is going through, you know! Thank you that you know and you see. Thank you that you are working even when it doesn't seem or feel like it. We ask for your strength for Matt to trust in you, keep leaning on you, and spending time with you and in your word. Amen.

😂😂😂 I read that exact verse of Ezekiel when I was a teenager, doing the "lucky-dip method." This is such a testimony to me! God definitely has a sense of humour.
"O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit created by a command from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!-for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.” [Quran - Surah
An-Nisa; 4:171]
In this verse Allah (the Almighty God) is speaking to people of the book. Allah forbids the People of the Scriptures from going to extremes in religion, which is a common trait of theirs, especially among the Christians. The Christians exaggerated over Jesus PBUH until they elevated him above the grade that Allah gave him. They elevated him from the rank of prophethood to being a god, whom they worshipped just as they worshipped Allah.
Mine was the wicked shall perish from the face of the earth 😭😭😭😭😭 I was scared as ever LOL
That’s so funny 😂
I am absolutaly shocked , the way this sermon is said and laid out … may God bless you guys , for the huge effort and may he guide you and give you strength in the future too , loved this video !
I will study the word everyday this week and will continue to
I will study the Bible every day.
I will study the word every day this week! I needed this right now so badly. I was an addict and I've been clean 6 years. I have been trying to really connect with God through his word. I'm doing it now. I'm surrendering my life to Jesus. I'm committing to Him now!
I have been reading one book of the Bible at a time and looking at every word, looking at different translations and of course pray for understanding and for my eyes to be open.
I will study the word every day beginning today!!
I felt such a peace coming through the screen as I watched this video
Going to try to dive deeper in my bible this week! Thank you and God bless you all, praying for you❤️🙏🏻
I am surrendering my Life to JESUS.

Congratulations Welcome to the Kingdom.
I will study the word of God every day this week. There are times where I start and do good, and then after a week or so I fall off the wagon. I struggle getting up in the morning and then get so caught up with life that I never get around to do it anymore. I know this is a tactic of the enemy.. he knows how to and when to stir something up and he does this by keeping me rushing and busy. Please pray I am able to prioritize my time with the Lord.
@Rebeca you are not alone in this! Lord Jesus, please help Rebeca to be able to follow through with her commitment to read and study your word this week. Please give her eyes to see and understand what you are speaking to her about. Your word is powerful and living and able to help and transform us. Please help your word to come alive for all of us! We so desperately need it! Amen.
-- Jenni
I will study the Word for the rest of this week and I pray to commit to studying daily. In the name of Jesus. Amen. ❤
On my bucket list I wanted to read the Bible all the way through I did it. Now I am enjoying sort of free lancing you have given me a great direction to go forward with study thank you.
I will study the Word of God every day !!!! Amen Amen Great message Thank You!!
Thank you Jesus 🙌🙌🙌
Many thanks pastor Craig I’m so so so grateful for your life and for sharing with us this important topic in our lives. Maybthe Holy Spirit open the eyes of our spirits and helps us to keep committed with passion and not in a profesional way when reading/mediating in the living word of God. I need this motivation. Again many thanks Pastor Craig 🎉😊
I will study the Bible everyday this week & everyday starting now
I really needed this tonight. I’m struggling so much and need to be in HIS word! I believe Jesus is our saviour and HE will help me! Thank you for this! ❤

Thank you for this message! God loves all! Amen
Thank you!!!. I DO read but need help and this will also help me help others. I am giving a Bible to someone this morning and I will definitely send her this message
I'm struggling.🇰🇮🇰🇮🇮🇸🇮🇸
@@melaniemartin730If there is anything I can do to help, let me know! I use an app in addition to my Life Church apps that replaces your cell phone update with Bible prompts and it sets prayers and Scripture for the morning and the evening! It keeps chiming until you open it or snooze it, but you must open it to stop it and when you open it there is a bible verse waiting. It asks your mood and gives you a verse and prayer prompts for how your day went in the evening and that has kept me on schedule.
The YouVersion Bible I have used for reading the translation that works for me and audio as well, and I have a separate reading app that allows me to easily mark how many times I have read each chapter.
I hope it gets easier. I had to struggle as well to get used to charging through the Old Testament, but it has been totally worth it. Once you get going, it becomes like a habit and makes the day better.
If the reading is difficult, do know that you can listen to the audio Bible. I sometimes put on one Book on repeat and fall asleep and wake up to it. That has helped as well!
Peace, family!

This was fantastic!! I needed it!! Thank you!!
I felt like I just had an out of mind experience then. I prayed for what felt like an hour, begging God to save me, guide me, give me strength and all. I poured it all out for Him. Bless Him for saving me in this time and turning to me researching about Christ and existence. I'm so excited to start learning life and the bible. Amen!

Recap by Tammy AI
I highly recommend looking at the Bible Project started by Tim Mackie and Jon Collins. They have a RUclips series and website doing deep dives into books of the Bible with historical context and intent. It’s creative, enlightening, and a great way to understand the grace of Jesus from a biblical perspective as one cohesive story.
Yes, we love Bible Project! There are several Bible plans on the youversion Bible app from the Bible project! Check them out if you haven't already @Randy Bell.
